Hello! Welcome to BOP's coverage of Big Brother's 11th season. This column, penned once a week throughout the duration of the season, began last summer with the series' 10th edition. At that time, I laid out the rules of the show and introduced you to all the jargon – like HouseGuest, Head of Household and Power of Veto. If you need a refresher, please follow this link.

And honestly, don't be bashful about it, because I ain't going over it again. If you can't remember what the Chopping Block is, then you've got some homework to read up on!

Now, let's get to the HouseGuests. At the top of the episode, 12 of ‘em entered the house. Here's a short bio for each:

Braden (28) – A surfer from my neck of the woods, Santa Monica, CA. I haven't seen every edition of the show, so this isn't substantiated. But... Braden just may be the most brainless contestant that the show has ever had. During introductions, his icebreaker was the following: "I'm Braden... like a braid in your hair."

Casey (41) – Teacher by day, DJ by night. And a complete goofball. Resides in St. Petersburg, FL.

Chima (32) – A freelance journalist from West Hollywood, CA. Makes the cardinal sin of laughing at her own jokes.

Jeff (31) – An advertising salesman from Norridge, IL. Not much to say about him, though two of the women already find him dreamier than McDreamy.

Jordan (22) – A waitress from Matthews, NC. She's got an accent, and she lays it on thiiiiiick.

Kevin (29) – A Graphic designer from Chula Vista, CA. Every reality show's got one, so it has to be said. Kevin's the token, completely hysterical gay guy.

Laura (21) – A bikini model from Atlanta, GA.

Lydia (24) – A special effects make up artist from Torrance, CA.

Michele (27) – A neuroscientist from Pasadena, CA. So smart she even had the foresight not to admit how smart she is – by withholding her Ph.D. – to the rest of the house for the sake of not appearing as a threat. And that's why she's a neuroscientist and you're not.

Natalie (24) – A Tae Kwon Do champion from Gilbert, AZ. She's 24, but lied to the house on the first night by telling everyone she's just 18. She figured that playing herself off as a teen would enable her to appear more naïve than she actually is. This backfired when Kevin called her bluff. This is why Natalie doesn't have her Ph.D.

Ronnie (30) – A Big Brother nerd from Belpre, OH. According to his bio, he's able to recite the eviction order of every HouseGuest in the show's history. He also plays video games six hours a day. This dude's also married?

Russell (24) – Just may be the most intimidating real estate broker you'll ever run into. He's buff like anything, but sits behind a desk all day talking about acres and loans. He lives in Walnut Creek, CA.
